IMPEACHMENT

made the trip to see either Fall or McLean. He said he went south for political reasons. Ever since he went to Palm Beach himself to question McLean about the uncashed $100,000 checks, Senator Walsh has intended to summon Slemp before the inquisitorial body.
In addition to Slemp, the committee has called officials of leading local banks for next week to inquire further into the reports of the million dollar "slush" fund and the two rhecks for $100,000 which McLean testified Fall returned uncashed.
Referring to the checks, Walsh said, "The general belief is that this transaction never took place."
McLean himself will also take the stand.
Harry F. Sinclair and E. L. Doheny will be recalled, the former to answer questions in connection with developments while he was in Europe. Doheny to tell the committee what became of Fall's signature on the note which the former secretary of the Interior gave in return for a $100,000 loan.
Doheny promised to look for this signature, which he said he tore off the note, but has never reported on his search to the committee, it was said. Certain committee members want to examine him in connection with the letters and interviews he has given out during the last week.

WASHINGTON, Feb 23.—C. Bascom Slemp, secretary to President Coolidge, was requested today to appear before the senatorial oil investigating committee at 10 o'clock next Monday morning.
Senator Walsh of Montana notified Slemp he would be the first witness called when the committee resumed its public hearings at that time.
Walsh plans to interrogate Slemp as to the reasons for his trip to Palm Beach in December when both E. B. McLean and Albert B. Pall were at the resort.
Slemp said he would be there. No subpoena was issued.
McLeah himself has also been subpoenaed to appear Monday, it was announced by Senator Lenroot, Republican of Wisconsin, chairman of the committee.
Because of the examination of brokerage books now being made by expert accountants, however, it may be that McLean's appearance will be postponed until later in the week, for the committee desires particularly to inquire as to the publisher's knowledge of stock transactions. Information is in the hands of the committee to indicate McLean acted as "agent" for some government officials.
Following Slemp's testimony, Walsh announced that the committee would hear expert accounts from the federal trade commission, headed by Lewis D. Bond, who have been making a detailed examination of books of leading brokers in New York, Washington and Cleveland.
One of the accountants held a long conference with Lenroot today. Bond is expected in Washington from New York tonight where he has been studying books and records;
Harry F. Sinclair will not be called to the stand until the "slush fund" charge is probed. Walsh indicated, announcing that a subpoena had been issued for him.
The committee expects, however, to finish its work in time to have Sinclair and E. L. Doheny testify before the end of the week.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.—The rigorous defense put up by Attorney General Harry M. Daugherty and his steadfast refusal to quit under fire has caused a split in the Republican party which is certain to make itself felt in the approaching campaign.
On one side stand the most influential republicans in the Senate, who are strongly pressing President Coolidge to demand Daugherty's resignation; on the other are the close friends of the attorney general and officers of the Republican National Committee, who believe that for Daugherty to quit at this time would be
On one side stand the most influential republicans in the senate, who are strongly pressing President Coolidge to demand Daugherty's resignation; on the other are the close friends of the attorney general and officers of the Republican National Committee, who believe that for Daugherty to quit at this time would be a political blunder of the worst sort.
The decision today rested where it has for a week—with President Coolidge. The belief persisted that the president is not going to request Daugherty's resignation until the accused official has "had his day in court."
CHINATOWN MOVES IN CAPITOL CITY
SACRAMENTO, Feb. 22—Chinatown, which since 1848 has occupied several of the most desirable blocks in the business section, is to be moved over to Washington, Yolo-co., or some other convenient location, if the plans of the downtown association are put into operation.
Three hundred and fifty merchants and property owners in the district have signed the membership roll of the association which is pledged to do away with the Oriental quarter, immediately opposite which the Southern Pacific Railroad is set to begin erection of a 50,000 depot.
D. H. Lawrence, the English writer, says that the colonizers of America did not cross the ocean looking for freedom, but trying to escape from it. Europe was too free for them, so they sought refuge in America. Gosh! that's right between the eyes. Let's prove he's a liar by respecting the spirit of freedom a little more than we now do.—San Jose News.

York This Week
at Buena Park
The history of all ages" because things are stirring in North Buena Park, since the opening last Sunday of Anaheim Sugar Co.'s Subdivision.
Parties from Los Angeles purchased a prominent corner on beautiful tree lined Grand-ave, for a modern machine shop, which will be equipped to make all kinds of machine repairs for automobiles and farm machinery. Other locations on the boulevard have been sold for business purposes.
In looking over the property for factory sites, the value of cheap fuel piped from the nearby oil wells was made very prominent, the elevation being sufficient to give an abundant gravity flow of oil with pressure to supply an unlimited number of manufacturing plants. With the splendid transportation facilities of the Santa Fe and Union Pacific Railways adjoinig, and one of So. Calif.'s highways fronting this tract, capital sees a special inducement to locate here, good returns on the investment being assured.

DROPPING TITLE
SACRAMENTO, Feb. 23,—Under the auspices of the State Board of Medical Examiners, a movement is under way to abolish the prefix "Doctor" among physicians of recognized medical schools.
The general adoption of the designation by charlatans is alleged to be the cause of the movement.
If the movement is successful, it is planned to enforce the substitution of degrees, following the name of the practitioner and also the medical school from which he graduated.
REDLANDS PARENTS OBJECT TO 'PHIZ ED'
SACRAMENTO, Feb. 23,—Axiation in Southern California, more particularly in Redlands, to repeal the compulsory physical education law in the public schools, today was characterized by Dr. Herbert R. Stoltz, state supervisor of physical education, as "another hopeless attempt to strike out one of the most beneficial laws on the books by a few disgruntled parents."
It is reported that more than 1200 signatures have been obtained in Redlands by Mrs. E. C. Herron as members of the Parents' Protective league, which it is said, is formed to secure repeal of the present law.
Charges are made that the physical exercises are too strenuous. This charge is ridiculed by the authorities who state that the program ranges from absolute rest to those who require it to active competitive games for those who are able to undertake them.

PERMANENT

PYRAMIDS
CENTRAL MEMORIAL
AJESTIC MONUMENTS to a wondrous past, the Egyptian Pyramids symbolize historic endurance. They have come to be looked upon as a conception of bygone ages expressing grandeur and permanence beyond mankind's own earthly power of fulfillment. Nothing that was ever planned or built visualizes man's smallness or temporary sovereignty so forcefully as these majestic pyramids. He was born, he lived and died, but the pyramids exist as objects of wonderment to his posterity.
In past decades the last resting places of our kin crumbled and fell into disuse. "God's acres" in countless communities are even now sadly in need of repair. But they endure. They form a distinct class of reserved property—unique, valuable and separated in thought and deed from all real estate and from all industrial or other projects subject to commercial uncertainty. As a class they are considered eternal so far as earthly things can be.
How much more permanent, therefore, must CENTRAL MEMORIAL PARK be, organized as it is on a public basis,

The Greatest Need of Our Community
The great need of CENTRAL MEMORIAL PARK is past discussion. It has become a dire necessity. It is acknowledged that the central location of CENTRAL MEMORIAL PARK, high and dry on land apparently specially provided by nature, is without a rival for its purpose. CENTRAL MEMORIAL PARK is past the preliminary stages of organization. All the starting difficulties of such projects have been successfully met. There are now no questions regarding its successful accomplishment, no explanations to be made as to its operating toward that end, no doubts concerning its future. In its present stage of development it is meeting the present need of our community fully and entirely successfully.

Olinda School Events
The weinie roast given at the Olinda School, Wednesday evening by the "Maggie and Jiggs" Society, proved a great success.
Thursday afternoon the Parent Teachers Association held their meeting for this month. The meeting was opened by a spandid program given by Mrs. Wein's room, the third grade. A delightful little play was performed and too much cannot be said of the talent shown by the little folks. Mrs. Kern of Anabeim gave a very interesting talk on "Patriotism". Business was then discussed and the meeting adjourned, followed by delicious refreshments served by several ladies of the P. T. A.
Al Walters was bought by the Yankees from Waco, Tex., in 1915 and was third and second string catcher until traded to the Red Sox in 1919 with Caldwell, Gilhooloy and Love for Leonard, Ehore and Lewis. He cannot bat. His best mark since 1917 is .250, made last year.
ASK FRANCHISE PRIVILEGE AT 21
LONDON, Feb. 23—Miss Dorothy Jewson, one of the eight women members of parliament, has announced she will attempt to have the electoral law changed to make the voting age of women 21 instead of 39, as it is at present.
Although the British Parliament has more women members than any other national legislative body, the law will require a great deal of altering before absolute political equality of the sexes is achieved, Miss Jewson declares.
Under the present law a woman must be 30 years old before she can exercise the voting franchise whereag a man may vote at 21. Miss Jewson declared the law unfair, showing discrimination in favor of the males.
Not every woman marries a man to reform him, but most of them try it later.

MIRIAL PARK
built as an enduring monument to California's pride in the beautiful and provided for in every respect by public ownership! CENTRAL MEMORIAL PARK is as "permanent" as the pyramids" from its material planning and inception by a firm of world famous landscape architects, through its practical operations to its usage as a beautiful Memorial Park by our great-great-grandchildren and their descendants many, many years to come.
Does not such a contribution to California's greatness deserve your best and most practical support?
Imitation Is a Sincere Form of Flattery
The inception of CENTRAL MEMORIAL PARK necessarily will bring into the field the usual number of imitations and projects purporting to have similar objectives. If any of these ever arrive at successful operation the executive committee of CENTRAL MEMORIAL PARK will welcome their aid, for the expansion of this wonderful community will require even more than what is planned by CENTRAL MEMORIAL PARK extensive and complete as these intentions are. But public spirited citizens own it to themselves, to our city, no less than to the state of California, of which we are all proud, to investigate thoroughly before arriving at definite conclusions.
